	Log in to remove this sponsored message G'day guys, Just looking for your opinions on what components I should buy and where you guys think the best places would be to buy them. I'm looking at a budget around $2000, I will mainly use the computer for gaming and movie watching. What I would like is some help with motherboard/CPU/Graphics Card/RAM combinations. I'm also looking at a combination of an internal Solid state drive and internal hard drives. I live in QLD Australia. With regards to the rest of the components (Case, power supply, cooling, remotes and other additions) are they easy enough to match to the other main components? I've had a look around the net on my own, for components, and came up with: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3GB Superclock AMD FX-8120 8-Core Processor ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional Motherboard Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD8GX3M2A1866C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001 Intel 520 Series 60 GB SSD LG BH14NS40 14X BD-R Blu-ray Writer OEM Enermax Platimax 1200W EMP1200EWT Thermaltake Level 10 GT Battle Edition Do these all work together? Thanks for any help you guys can give. new build

	That power supply is so overkill it hurts to see, especially since you only have a GTX 660. I'd recommend this: CPU - i7 3770k Mobo - any Z77 GPU - GTX 680 PSU - Corsair 750w The rest can be the same ------------------- Maplestory Forum

	The GTX 680 supports 2 screens quite easily it's more power efficient to run one graphics card. ------------------- Maplestory Forum
